Frank Haith bolting from Mizzou for Tulsa - an obvious downgrade but, like Cuonzo, he got off the sinking ship before he was thrown off.

James Young and Rodney Hood to the NBA.

In this particular draft, I think Hood is making a mistake in regards to his draft stock. I think he's got a far better chance at going lottery next year than this year. As far as potential fits though, he may find himself on a much better team where he may not be counted on to do a lot of the heavy lifting early on. Skilled player, like Parker, who needs a lot of work defensively. I think he'll be an average starter at the next level unless he becomes better off the dribble and especially defensively. Good player though, could see him as a 15 ppg scorer with 5 boards in a career year.

Yep, both coaches new they were likely to be fired next year so they took the downgrade job. Three more years at least is better than one.
 
I like James Young, but he's an interesting guy to draft. His offensive skill-set is top notch. He just needs to work on his jumper some. However, his decision making is bad and he is one of the worst passers I have ever seen. His defense is also terrible, but I imagine that will get better with experience. Maybe a good comp for him is Lou Williams?

Nick Young with more length?
 
YOu still aren't likely to get a great player outside of the first few picks. You are in GRIII, Payne, Warren, Hairston territory.

Agree to an extent on Hood.

With Parker gone, he would of got mega touches and possibly jumped into the lotto next year.

Not a fan of GR3.

Payne/Warren/Hairston would be fine.

Hairston would be better suited since OKC needs some more 3-pt shooters.
